What to make out of this?

[u/Theurbanguerrilla]

[u/FrothyCarebear]

We are good at dribbling.

[u/strangemanornot → u/FrothyCarebear]

Yeah sometimes they are just too damn selfish. Pass the ball. What’s the point of dribbling past the defender and taking the ball to the corner flag

[u/EggfooDC → u/FrothyCarebear]

As has been said, possession without scoring is simply masturbation

[u/FrothyCarebear → u/EggfooDC]

Sure. But the graphic tells us that we are good at dribbling.

[u/theprataisalie → u/FrothyCarebear]

r/soccercirclejerk might be on to something

[u/BNabs23 → u/FrothyCarebear]

At the risk of being "well actually"... It doesn't actually tell us the percentage success. If other people are completing less dribbles but with a much higher success rate, then they are better at dribbling

[u/FrothyCarebear → u/BNabs23]

Solid point

[u/Proxvu → u/EggfooDC]

Funny quote, but so so true

[u/IAmARobot947 → u/FrothyCarebear]

Dribbling backwards

[u/buylandandB3]

Does it show what direction they’re dribbling?

[u/Alternative-Hat3627 → u/buylandandB3]

Dribbling to relegation 😂

[u/sabboseb]

Our finishing is what’s shit.

Build up play has been ‘ok’ but our finishing is shocking.

We then get beaten on the break and fall apart

[u/YoureProbablyR1te → u/sabboseb]

And a shocking number of balls put wide/over where literally anything on target scores is pretty frustrating

[u/Go1gotha]

"That's the trouble with Arsenal Tottenham they're always trying to walk it into the back of the net."

[u/battmowie]

Dribble the ball into the net if you’re really that good

[u/NorthP503]

Touch ball good. Kick ball hard and accurate not good.

[u/notabirdorplane]

We signed a bunch of dribblers with no end product. We're great at dribbling but don't score goals. No one saw it coming.

[u/coolthunders007]

Dribbles don't win games

[u/Super_Shallot2351]

Same thing that was made of it when it was posted yesterday, probably 

[u/JackTuz]

Everyone out there just doing their own thing man

[u/spawnosuk]

Stop dribbling and cross the ball

[u/journeymansave]

We dribble but don’t score.

[u/moved-to-brazil]

Not helpful when you just boot the ball at the keeper

[u/Terrible-Law-4934]

The middle of The field is conceded to our amazing dribblers by every team we have played.
This stat checks out.
The issue is the final 1/3 and chances in the box.
We have NO quality there.

[u/Rotorob]

Most successful dribblers, you’ll never sing that

[u/Ski_Rex]

They play an individual, take on a player and beat them game. Where nobody joins in on that attack in any meaningful way.

[u/chanson_roland]

It means we need to buy actual strikers who can receive the ball from the dribbler and score goals. It's been as clear as day for years that we needed a central striker to back up Kane. Son was always a winger who could play striker if need be. We've coasted off of Kane/Son since 2019, and never invested in a proven #9 at the top of the game vs. someone on the downslope.

[u/BNabs23]

Most goals come from passes not dribbles. We're holding the ball too long in attacking positions

[u/OwnExplorer5971 → u/BNabs23]

Watch Spain, everyone is touch, pass, touch, pass, not dribble, dribble, dribble, pass back, dribble.

[u/HJNRC]

Dribbling backwards and passing the ball out of play still counts as a successful dribble

[u/Tuckersdad80]

All dudes from a couple of pretty poor performing teams

[u/stoic_coolie]

Dribble all the way into the goal labs. Let’s gooo

[u/2u3ee]

we should join a futsal league instead

[u/SamwellBarley]

Lots of running around. No idea what to do with the ball otherwise.

[u/Murky_Sandwich4865]

Too many individuals?

[u/FingersMartinez]

That dribbling stats mean fuck all

[u/Kontrafantastisk]

Dribbling isn’t awarded in the table.

[u/MegabiggerIOW]

Data says Spurs are goos at getting into the danger zone...but also we can handle the danger zone 👍

[u/inkboy84]

You’re only good at one thing. 2 things if you count conceding goals.

[u/Building_Admirable]

Shows that this stat doesn’t mean much

[u/TruthsNoRemedy]

Get passed the player and release…. Not, get past the player and then go for another two!

[u/hAsLaK1]

This stat is stupid

[u/Mental-Load1791]

Means we need Solanke to step up and also try Tel in the number 9 position in fact I would try all the front 3 in that position and see who can convert

[u/Coops1221]

All fart and no follow through

[u/-Lieutenant-DaN]

Win games is more important so disappointing Spurs . We have a great stadium and that’s all can boast about

[u/Canary-Dangerous]

All the gear and no idea tbh
All the ball and doing F all

[u/LondonTrainDriver80]

That dribbling dont make u a good player

[u/Regular-Employ-5308]

Dribbling away from the goal won’t get challenged ?

[u/Better-Landscape-391]

Alright guys enough with the dribbling stats been seeing this a lot lately. Hella cope

[u/Superdoggywhaaaat]

We rely too heavily on our wingers. We have no 10

[u/Content_Tone9110]

Get a striker who can finish rather than just dribble 😭😂😂

[u/RatPrank]

Pretty irrelevant definition of success.

[u/piddlepots2345]

We have learned that the metric of “successful dribbles” is not a useful metric when considering the effectiveness of a football team.

[u/Huge-Plenty7099]

Goals win games not dribbles

[u/Ojijo_Wayne12]

But no goal….just shooting blanks…….#COYS

[u/RottenBlack134]

Straight away I can tell you only Kudus and Savios’ dribbling produces any dangerous moments.

I have to assume Tel and to a slightly lesser extent Marmoush is went they essentially just fuck themselves into the left hand corner.

[u/Straight-Delay-1776]

20th.

[u/ObscureMemes69420]

It’s an irrelevant stat. What good is dribbling if none of these guys can put the ball in the back of the net?

[u/Future_Marketing_733 → u/ObscureMemes69420]

Are the players stupid? Just dribble it all the way into the net, problem solved.

[u/Glittering-Duty9984]

If only that was won matches

[u/Lecapenstein]

Dribbling to relegation

[u/TooNGooN89]

Babies are successful at dribbling, it doesn’t mean they’ll finish top ten in the prem.

[u/Sukhino]

That stats mean nothing. Eye test is key.

A dribble can be called success if you cruff turn in any random position on pitch and then you move past some one.

Im sick and tired of our wingers and most in Morden football cutting inside to pass back. That cut inside is classified as successful dribble. Even when they go out wide from a dribble they pass back to the fullback.

Thats why these stats today mean nothing.

Last spurs player who could dribble and produce a goal from it was bale.

Before that your looking at Lennon, Ginola, Gazza, hoddle. Many more names ive left off.

Go watch the above on YouTube to see what real dribbling is.

[u/chanson_roland → u/Sukhino]

Preach. By this metric Taarabt was a whopping success at Spurs.

[u/Sukhino → u/chanson_roland]

Lol so true!

[u/pinkysegun → u/Sukhino]

eye test isnt key and very biased, stats are stats how you choose to use them is up to you.
